Website for the community of Binley Woods in Warwickshire, England
The question of which parts of the village are ‘Green belt’ was raised at the Steering Group meeting – the answer is “everything that is not already built on”.
The attached maps show:
Cheers,
Ken.
This is a summary of the meeting. For the full minutes please read the formal Minutes document.
As this was the first Steering Group meeting, the members introduced themselves in turn. It was apparent that we had a broad section of the community represented on the Steering Group with a great deal of experience of serving Binley Woods village.
After some discussion, it was agreed that we will produce all three possible deliverables:
Each one was seen as a valuable tool to help shape the future of the village. Three sub-groups will be formed to take each one forward. Members of the Sub-groups are listed in the full meeting minutes.
We will consider a “pre-questionnaire” to determine those issues that the residents of Binley Woods feel should be covered in the Parish Plan.
The Parish Plan should be a living document that would continue to develop and evolve to meet the changing needs of the village.
Future Steering Group meetings will be held on the last Thursday of each month except December and August.

Many thanks to all who attended the Parish Plan launch meeting on 29th September (sorry about the heat!) and to those who put their name forward to join the Steering Group. It was an impressive turnout and if you know of family, friends or neighbours who also came along please pass on my and Paul’s thanks to them.
21 residents have volunteered to join the Steering group, which is a fantastic response and is an ideal number to take the Plan forward.Another 17 residents volunteered to help out with delivering survey questionnaires, etc so we will be able to share the load around the village. I will be contacting those volunteers shortly to welcome them on board.
Unfortunately, we did not have enough hand-outs to go around so I have attached a PDF version for those of you who were unable to collect a copy.
Parish Plan Launch Meeting Handout
We have set the date for the first Steering Group meeting as Thursday, 27th October at 7.30pm and have booked the Morrison Room at the Village Hall and we look forward to seeing you there. Please can you let me know whether or not you will be able to make it.
If you volunteered for the Steering Group but now have doubts concerning joining it, I would urge you to attend the first meeting and then decide whether or not you wish to continue. The more residents that are involved, the better the plan will be.
If you are aware of other residents who might be interested in joining the Steering Group but were unable to attend last evening, please do ask them to get in touch.
We will be sending out an agenda for the first Steering Group meeting a little nearer the time, but in the meantime if you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch on 02476 540422 or by e-mail.
Best regards,
Ken.
